A "panoramic" view (15 rows x 66 columns)of Honolulu from the lookout at Pu`u Ualaka`a State Park. The top of Leahi Crater (Diamond Head) is 4 miles away, and the reef runway at HNL (Honolulu International Airport) is about 8 miles away.

A beautiful afternoon at Waikiki. I took the panorama from the Kapiolani Park end of Waikiki at the Kapahulu Pier/breakwater. The view is towards the NorthWest. Lots of water movement and people movement make for many interesting discoveries.

It was drizzling most of the time and there was very little direct sun as you can see by the lack of shadows. I kind of like how the clouds created a giant softbox for me.
The picture was much darker overall which i w...

Tantalas lookout, in Hawaii, Oahu. During this time there was a slight VOG (Volcanic pollution). The camera I have is not so great (got to get a new one...). This one is a second set to the other one I made with more detail.
